Tolga Akcayli Shares Original “Jamaica No Duppy” Anime Trailer, Seeks Crowdfunding Efforts

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s no secret that Jamaicans love Cartoons. For decades they have been entertained by many kinds that range from 5 minute shorts, to full length movies. There is a percentage of them that love Anime. The Japanese styled Animation has found favour with them thanks to Cable/Satellite TV, VHS, DVD, Print, Video Games, and the Internet over the years. For years there have been discussions for the Island’s best Creatives to make original Anime content with a Jamaican background. While there have been attempts, Vincy Filmmaker Tolga Akcayli looks to make it a reality with his “Jamaica No Duppy – Rise Of The Conqueror” idea.

What originally started as a joke on Social Media platform TikTok, “Jamaica No Duppy” is coming to life, and it needs your help. The Anime focuses on a Samurai who finds himself stranded in Jamaica, and tries to navigate through the Island and its natives in dialogue and other ways. “Jamaica No Duppy” was made possible through years of research and encouragement from Social Media, but like all productions, it costs to put together. Tolga Akcayli made the first major step with a concept trailer that was premiered over the weekend, and is seeking financial help to bring the full Anime to life. The series is still seeking talent, and with the assistance of Crowdfunding platform GoFundMe, Akcayli is campaigning, and you can chip in. Aside from the Anime, Akcayli also wants to launch a limited Manga series in 2024. Want to see Jamaica’s first official Anime? Support the GoFundMe here.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Yesterday, Entertainment giant Marvel unveiled the latest phase of their “Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)“. With plenty films and tv shows on the way, fans were looking forward to consume even more stories from their favourite Comics. The rollout included the announcement of the sequel to the popular “Black Panther” film called, “Wakanda Forever“. Announced in the form of a teaser, a familiar song was featured in its soundtrack.

For those familiar with Reggae (who wouldn’t at this point?), the lyrics from Bob Marley’s classic, “No Woman No Cry” was heard in the teaser for “Wakanda Forever”. Instead of Bob’s version, a cover by Nigerian star Tems was put in place. Throughout the over 2 minute teaser, Tems’ cover was played before being mixed into Rapper Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” single. “No Woman No Cry” was written by Bob Marley and Vincent Ford, produced by Chris Blackwell and The Wailers, and was featured on Marley’s 1974 album, “Natty Dread” with The Wailers. A live version of the single was released in 1975, and is considered one of the greatest songs ever made. The track was covered by many including The Fugees, Wizkid, Jimmy Cliff, and Sean Kingston.

“Black Panther” was released in 2018, and starred Chadwick Boseman, and Lupita Nyong’o among others. Boseman was set to reprise his role as the African superhero in the sequel, but passed away in 2020 after a long battle with Colon Cancer. “Black Pather: Wakanda Forever” will be released on October 11, 2022.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Have you been watching any good movies lately? Here’s something that appeared on our radar recently. Netflix recently released the film, “Along For The Ride“. Starring Emma Pasarow, Belmont Cameli, and Andie McDowell, this is a Romance/Drama film that finds two Teenagers meeting up nightly to help one experience the fun, carefree teen life before heading off to College. The main reason for this post however, is the fact that a Dancehall classic was featured in the film!

During a few minutes into the film, Sean Paul’s 2002 GRAMMY nominated classic, “Get Busy” was featured. Produced by Steven “Lenky” Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim” (you can find a Playlist dedicated to this Riddim here.), Sean Paul’s “Get Busy” was the summer Dancehall anthem around the world, and was featured on his GRAMMY winning seanmultiplatinum album, “Dutty Rock“. Sean Paul has had some of his music featured in films before, and we highlighted the inclusion of his Sia collaboration “Cheap Thrills” last year in the “Black Widow” film. The “Along For The Ride” film is available for viewing now on Netflix.
